[Choose your talking points below]

• Portland needs the services CPPW members provide.
• CPPW workers are essential to the city serving people like me.
• Their work is part of the City’s Renaissance and is critical to the City’s success.
• CPPW workers deserve fair compensation, respect, and a stable future.
• Real wage increases have to be a priority so these workers can live in the city they serve.

Thank you.

Host a remote worker, or be hosted!

Are you a CPPW member who is a fully remote worker and considering coming to Portland to picket, but don’t have a place to stay for the night?

Or maybe you’re a local member who has an extra bedroom in your home that isn’t being used and would be willing to host a remote CPPW member for a day or two?

Your Strike Support Committee would like to hear from you! We’re setting up a Local Link program to connect remote workers who do not live in Portland with local short-stay host members. Interested members can contact Kati Robb for more details and coordination.
